Re: please help app missing ...
Hi,
Does anyone know who/how/why Gimp was removed from testing?
I found the links below, but to me they don't explain any valid reasons or how this decision was made (automated or by human) ?
So curious how such a well known package becomes removed. And wonder how it will be available when Stable is released.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gimp
The package has not entered testing even though the delay is over normal

Gimp was removed from testing on 2024-09-25[1] due to the ongoing
transition. See [2] for more details.
I think you can enable sid (if only temporarily) and install it from
there.
